Abstract
An extension of a fixed transition probability (TP) Markovian switching model to combine time-varying TPs has offered another set of useful regime-switching models. This paper is concerned with the problem of finite-time H∞ control for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump systems with partly unknown time-varying TPs subject to average dwell time switching. The so-called time-varying TPs mean that the TPs are varying but invariant within an interval. The variation of the TPs considered here is subject to a class of slow switching signal. Based on selecting the appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions of finite-time boundedness of Markovian jump systems are derived and the system trajectory stays within a prescribed bound. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
